That is what any reasonable person wants. Legal migration, background checks, qualifications, quality of person etc. It is the very least we deserve. I don’t care what colour anyone is after that.

How odd - it's been several days since the head of the Hope and Courage Collective made a verifiably false claim on live TV, saying "We're not [funded by the State] actually", when they are, yet there's been no sign of The Journal's fact check yet. Any day now I'm sure. 🤪

What justification can Dr Neary have to make these claims which will affect other people's children? youtu.be/vN7qi4cPBag?si=1s5C…

If I could only give one piece of advice it’s this. Whenever in life you hear the words “it was only a joke” trust me, it was never, ever only a joke.

Calling a 44 year old vulnerable victim a "young man" isn't just out-of-touch political rhetoric, it’s a deliberate sanitisation of the barbaric attack. By reducing Stephen Ogilvie to a vague cliché, the Taoiseach misleads the public and masks the grim reality. Stop shielding the facts. It’s a pathetic day for Irish politics when the state is more worried about managing the narrative than facing the horrific reality on our streets.

The fundamental roles of any government are:- Protecting Citizens. Maintaining Order. Enforcing laws, policing, administering justice. Providing National defence & security/borders. Providing infrastructure, roads, schools. Managing the Economy. Provide Public Services, healthcare, education, welfare. #Ireland and the #Irish government are failing each role miserably.

Free speech is being strangled by government control. Coimisiún na Meán’s "online safety" agenda is purely a bureaucratic cartel designed to crush the right to speak. By weaponising vague definitions of "harm" and rigging audience panels, (just like previous broken, ideologically captured Citizens Assemblies) they have empowered unelected, state-funded NGOs to delete political dissent.

Bill Clinton spent years learning and knew every player & historical grievance & still found it grueling. Thomas Byrne is unqualified without a clue and is walking into the world's most volatile conflict looking like the gormless amateur he is. A mission without a clue.

Many people owe the 12 year old (now 13) Scottish girl an apology. You first @PoliceScotland And you @freddiesayers - you posh twat And you #narinder-heres-my-flange God bless those girls. And well done mum

I would willing have my taxes diverted to transport this entire government to another GALAXY €185 million to be spent on a LOGO!! How about 'drawing' a few houses and putting roofs over Irish children's heads with that €185 million ...you do not have a mandate for utter BS.

May I ask...is stabbing people racist ? Or only talking about it...

A friend writes: "I gather that @Micheál Martin is to bend the knee today to Starmer over Belfast stabbing The fact is Ire has suffered a lot more from people coming south using the CTA than vice versa. But the weakest of weak Governments seems to be unable to articulate that..

I spoke at the Child Safeguarding Coalition event in Leinster House on Wednesday evening. It was an honour to take part and to share the platform with Stella (@genspect), Laoise (@TheCountessIE) and Jana (@NaturalWomensIE). The three of you lead fantastic advocacy organisations and have been incredibly generous in sharing your platforms, knowledge and support with me since I became somewhat distracted by #BíCineálta! Among other things, we have called for an end to Bí Cineálta / Cineáltas. I’ll post more about this and the other objectives separately — for now, I just wanted to acknowledge the experience and say thank you to @SenatorKeogan for hosting us. Thank you @griptmedia and @Ben_Scallan for covering. @critical_class @education_irish

Questions need to be answered here. @GovIE

They would bury all news that doesn’t suit their narrative, I mean the EU nasty narrative. Thank God for a decent man like @elonmusk Ireland badly needs help.

Parents please read

The National Parents Council are heavily involved in setting the curriculum but from what we’ve been told by parents, they are ideologically captured and no help at all.

Well said Ray, I completely agree with you.
